Anyone notice that Canadians are just getting fatter and lazier?

Speaking of lazy, when will you find the effort to answer the PM I sent you? 
Maybe I should get your ass out of bed at 0500 for a little recreational PT!

what does PT consist of anyways. I have always wondered and I figured it wasn't only sit ups pushups and running.

Tricks listen up, time for a little lesson! 
PT stands for physical training. It can be a run, circuit training, pushups, situps, burpees, cycling, swimming, rucksack marching, rope climbing, obstacle courses, basically anything that your instructor/section commander wishes it to be that day. If you get really lucky, maybe you'll do sports for PT, but don't count on it!
If you do end up joining and wish to go airborne, on your jump course you will do more PT in 3 weeks than you have down in the last 3 years! Big emphasis on upper body PT, think pushups, chinups! Lots and lots!
Thus endeth the lesson, any other questions?

how far should I be able to run, how many push ups, hmmmm Chin ups, I may have to make a bar and find a place to put it.

You can get chin up bars that fit in a doorway... if you're not too tall

They run 10 km each day at petawawa I think ? Plus you can't walk, you have to run from point "a" to "b" otherwise it's 25 pushup for every step you've been caught to make...
Too bad they dismissed the airborne reg 
My unit had an airbone company before 1995, I would probably have been one of them right know if it wouldn't have been of the libs

I told a nutritionist what our daily caloric intake was in basic...she refused to believe me and then I dropped the bomb that we were always hungry by 2000 every day 
Thankfully combats are pretty baggy so the apples, oranges, cookies, fruit drinks etc etc did not show too much.

Thankfully combats are pretty baggy so the apples, oranges, cookies, fruit drinks etc etc did not show too much.I think a normal daily intake is supposed to be around 1300 to 1500...round there. We were at least double that. Breakfast was at 0600 and I would have 2 or 3 eggs, 4 or 5 strips of bacon, couple sausasges, 4 pieces of toast, 2 large glasses of OJ and a cup of coffee....by 1000 I would be starving. If I tried that now I would not be able to move
